All these engines need to run is correct fuel mixture, a compression stroke and spark delivered at the proper time.

Are you working through a methodical troubleshooting scheme?

Do you have fuel of the proper mix ( corroded points on the fuel pump would give intermittent to no fuel pressure as would a plugged fuel filter or no fuel / bad fuel)
Do you have compression? (Good rin...

Thanks Paul. This car will need a good owner. I am to the point in my life where I don't want any more cars, but am happy to work on them.

I overlooked that the weber manifold didn't have a balance tube,--if you were going to run with the PCV valve idea it'd mean drilling/connecting up to both manifold runners and connecting with a 'T' in the middle to get equal airflow-

Connecting to a single runner won't work-

I had a picture of one of those banana shaped weber manifolds (with a balance) in my head when ...

I've also delved into Vizard who gives a good description of the Evacusump solution that Anam described, so one for further consideration due to what's involved in its installation.

Thats really nice Steve, very envious - except I scan all my papers these days and then chuck them - but still envious!

Hi Les,

I largely agree (and no, this is not a concours vehicle). However, whilst people have every right to do what they want to their own vehicle within the boundaries of safety, I generally find it easier if everything is kind of how it was. It means that when parts need changing there are no difficult, and potentially expensive, surprises. For example, in the UK it is much easier to o...
